Techniques
The operating microscope and microsurgical techniques using suture finer than a human hair have greatly enhanced vasectomy reversal success rates to 98 percent if active sperm are found at the vasectomy site (vasostomy). If the sperm passage is blocked upstream closer to the testicle where sperm are produced, much more advanced techniques are required to bypass this blockage (vasoepididymostomy) with a success rate of 87%.
The Surgery
The vasectomy reversal procedure with Dr. Bastuba does not require an overnight hospital stay and lasts from 2 to 3 hours at an outpatient surgery-center. Local anesthetic with IV sedation or general anesthesia provides complete pain control during the procedure with patients routinely returning back to desk type work in approximately three days. Due to the superficial nature of the procedure risks, post op discomfort and disruption of normal activities are limited. See how Dr. Bastuba performs a vasectomy reversal.
Success Rates
Contrary to popularly held beliefs, the chance of success with reversal does not suddenly decline after 10 years. In San Diego, Dr. Bastuba has successfully reversed patients up to 40 years following vasectomy with pregnancy occurring as early as a few months post-op. Like all extremely specialized and technical microscopic procedures, the best results for vasectomy reversal are typically obtained by surgeons with extensive training in microsurgery and who perform many such procedures each year. It is critical that your surgeon has extensive experience in all facets of reconstruction, especially vasoepididymostomy (VE), since the first attempt at reconstruction is the best shot. Most surgeons with limited experience are wise enough not to attempt vasoepididymostomy due to its technical difficulty. For Dr. Bastuba these demanding procedures are routine and performed at no extra cost. In experienced hands, even a second attempt at vas reversal after an initial failure has proven cost effective.
